Not only no room for nuance or context, but completely devoid of understanding of how the immune system works. It feels like a great many DON'T understand that vaccines don't, and never have, kept the virus from physically entering the body. If it's in the body, it can be spread unless dealt with quickly. We must have no vaccines that "work" for these folks. It's a twisted web of silliness.
Are these different mice than what was used to test the boosters? Because those mice were used because their immune systems respond extremely similar to humans.
Well then I imagine they will keep trying. Who do this first step at all?
I don't know the answer to that question but you have to figure that by now most humans have either gotten vaccinated or gotten covid so almost all of us have built up some level of immunity.
Yeah the last estimate I saw was about 90% in the US either have a confirmed case or are vaccinated.
I think the WHO is still baffled.
I question this.
I wonder if the guys at Wuhan said the same kind of thing to themselves: "Yeah, it looks bad on paper, but our mice are really susceptible. That monkey that just died was probably just coincidence - we can sell it at that wet market across the street and get some nice vodka for tonight..."
Yea, not sure the fact that some scientists were able to create a new strain has any bearing on how the original strain started
Thanks for admitting it
We don’t know and we likely will never know.
No. At least not in Washington.
Okay
While I think there is a strong case to be made for that sucker leaking out of that lab what do we do with that information if we can prove that it leaked?

are you under the impression that someone is going to hold them responsible? If so, how? What would be done? The answer is, you'll never know, so it doesn't matter but if we DID know, nothing's going to be done. It simply doesn't matter. I mean, we ALL know the cure for cancer has been put on the shelf and no one seems to care

And now for The REST of the story:WTF is wrong with these people. I vote the building this was done in is evacuated, sealed and cleaned (flamethrower is most appropriate) to ensure this kind of variant never gets out. I'm agog we have smart folks in this country that are this stupid.
Boston University CREATES new Omicron strain that has an 80% kill rate
The variant - which is a hybrid of Omicron and the original Wuhan virus - killed 80 per cent of mice infected with it at Boston University.www.dailymail.co.uk

Good to see that this is refuted. And, man, someone here is totally incorrect. Not just a little wrong, but day and night wrong.And now for The REST of the story:WTF is wrong with these people.

NEIDL Researchers Refute UK Article about COVID Strain
Boston University is refuting a series of misleading claims about research at the University’s National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL). BU called the reporting “false and inaccurate,” and said, “this research made the virus replicate less dangerous.”

I'd offer that it's China's fault whether it was a lab leak or the wet market. Have said this since day one.
You are required to wear your Covid card on a lanyard at all times while in public.
I live in the Bay Area, the last time I had to show proof of vaccination to get into anywhere was a bar in SF last November. It hasnt been a thing for about a year.
Introduction is one thing...how the countries handle it after it's introduced is another. That's on the country to provide a solution and then on the people to decide to use the solution.
Right. If it was this wet market they need to figure that **** out and regulate better.
I imagine the same people do who question whether Trump was in possession of top secret classified materials contrary to law. Or the same people who actually question whether the 2020 presidential election results are valid.
So the NIAID had no idea the BU folks were doing this research. The NIAID's head of the Dept of Microbiology and Infectious disease said publicly: "The BU teams application did not state that they wanted to do this precise work, nor did they make clear that they were doing experiments that might involve enhancing a pathogen of pandemic potential in the progress reports provided to NIAID. I think we're going to have conversations over upcoming days."And now for The REST of the story:WTF is wrong with these people.

Capitalism!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is inaccurate. It wasn't the CDC, it was the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and it's just a recommendation. It would be States that would mandate it if they do choose to do so.
We already are. Covid is now killing white people more than black people. Originally it was the opposite but because white people have more vaccine hesitancy over this particular vaccination, the trend has now officially reversed.Pfizer says Covid-19 vaccine list price could be $130 per dose once government contracts end | CNN
Drugmaker Pfizer said Friday that as government contracts come to an end, possibly by early next year, its Covid-19 vaccine will be sold for $110 to $130 per dose.www.cnn.com
Pfizer says Covid-19 vaccine list price could be $130 per dose once government contracts end
at $130 a shot ... lets see who really thinks its life saving and who doesn't
Oh man, she had the new one too? Thankfully she had 5 shots or she could have had severe outcomes.
Well the experts agreed. Any questioning of it needs to be silenced and labeled as misinformation.
I don't think the "west coast" makes rules that apply to all cities and states on the west coast.
We would probably stop doing that kind of research in the US and would probably stop paying foreign countries for it too.While I think there is a strong case to be made for that sucker leaking out of that lab what do we do with that information if we can prove that it leaked?
USA - Look! We have proof that it leaked from Wuhan! (shows proof)
China - Nope. That is fake news. Didn't leak from here.
USA - China is lying! Look at this proof.
China - Yeah no... Didn't happen here...
USA - BUT WE HAVE PROOF!
China -
Now what? It's kind of like the whole Russia is committing war crimes in Ukraine. What you gonna do about it?
